Tbilisi is the capital and largest city of Georgia, located in the eastern part of the country along the banks of the Kura River. The city has a rich history that spans over 1,500 years and has been influenced by various cultures and civilizations over the centuries. The old part of Tbilisi, known for its charming architecture and unique atmosphere, is one of the most fascinating areas of the city. The minaret of the Juma Mosque is architecturally significant and reflects the influences of both Persian and Ottoman architectural styles. The mosque is built of red bricks and has beautiful arched entrances and windows. The interior is richly decorated with Islamic art and calligraphy. The baths in the center of the city are a major historical and cultural attraction. These baths, mostly known as the sulphur baths, are located in the Abanotubani district. The history of the sulphur baths dates back to the founding of Tbilisi itself in the 5th century. According to legend, King Vakhtang I Gorgasali came across the hot springs during a hunting trip, which led to the founding of the city. The baths were influenced by oriental bathing culture, similar to the hamams in Turkey and the bathhouses in Iran. The bathhouses have characteristic domed roofs, which are partly underground to keep the heat in. These roofs are often covered with bricks and small windows. Inside, the baths are tiled with mosaics and have several rooms, including private bathrooms and communal areas. The water in the baths contains a high level of sulphur, which is said to have medicinal properties. The water comes naturally warm from the ground. The sulphur baths are praised for their health benefits, such as relieving skin conditions, muscle pain and arthritis. Historically, the baths played an important role as social gathering places. People came here not only to bathe, but also to chat, relax and do business.

Historically, the baths played an important role as social gathering places. People came here not only to bathe but also to chat, relax, and conduct business. Today, the baths are a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world who want to enjoy a traditional sulfur bath experience. King Erekle's bath, shown in the photo, has been operating since the 18th century. Initially, it was the private bath of the famous King Erekle II, but it is now open to everyone. The small river that flows through the Tbilisi Botanical Garden, called the Tsavkisis-Tskali, also flows past Erekle's bath.The Tbilisi Juma Mosque has a prominent minaret that forms an important part of the skyline of the old city. A striking aspect of the Tbilisi Juma Mosque is that both Shia and Sunni Muslims use the mosque together. This is quite unusual, as these two major branches of Islam usually have their own prayer halls. The shared use of the mosque is a symbol of religious tolerance and harmony in Tbilisi.
Tbilisi is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Georgië, gelegen in het oosten van het land aan de oevers van de rivier de Koera. De stad heeft een rijke geschiedenis die meer dan 1.500 jaar teruggaat en heeft door de eeuwen heen vele invloeden ondergaan van diverse culturen en beschavingen. Het oude gedeelte van Tbilisi, bekend om zijn charmante architectuur en unieke sfeer, is een van de meest fascinerende delen van de stad. De baden in het centrum van de stad zijn een belangrijke historische en culturele trekpleister. Deze baden, vooral bekend als de zwavelbaden, zijn gelegen in de wijk Abanotubani. De geschiedenis van de zwavelbaden gaat terug tot de oprichting van Tbilisi zelf in de 5e eeuw. Volgens de legende stuitte koning Vakhtang I Gorgasali op de warmwaterbronnen tijdens een jachtpartij, wat leidde tot de stichting van de stad. De baden werden beïnvloed door de oosterse badcultuur, vergelijkbaar met de hamams in Turkije en de badhuizen in Iran. De badhuizen hebben kenmerkende koepelvormige daken, die deels ondergronds zijn om de warmte binnen te houden. Het water komt natuurlijk warm uit de grond. De zwavelbaden worden geprezen om hun gezondheidsvoordelen, zoals het verlichten van huidaandoeningen, spierpijn en artritis. Historisch gezien speelden de badhuizen een belangrijke rol als sociale ontmoetingsplaatsen. Mensen kwamen hier niet alleen om te baden, maar ook om te praten, te ontspannen en zaken te doen. De Tbilisi Juma Moskee heeft een prominente minaret die een belangrijk onderdeel vormt van de skyline van de oude stad. De minaret van de Juma Moskee is architectonisch significant en weerspiegelt de invloeden van zowel Perzische als Ottomaanse bouwstijlen. De moskee is gebouwd met rode bakstenen en heeft mooie boogvormige ingangen en ramen. Het interieur is rijkelijk gedecoreerd met islamitische kunst en kalligrafie. Een opvallend aspect van de Tbilisi Juma Moskee is dat zowel Sjiitische als Soennitische moslims deze moskee gezamenlijk gebruiken. Dit is vrij ongebruikelijk, aangezien deze twee grote takken van de islam doorgaans hun eigen gebedsruimten hebben. De gezamenlijke gebruik van de moskee staat symbool voor religieuze tolerantie en harmonie in Tbilisi.
Two walkers were going their separate ways and passed each other as far as I could see anyway - without a word being exchanged..
Before Covid....
If you don’t have to do it, you do it anyway and if you do have to do it - you don’t....if you know what I mean..
Nottingam opened an outdoor Christmas Market and it was absolutely thronged and shut down faster than it opened. I don’t know who had their brain in their a@#&s - the council or the public..
Here’s hoping we can all keep safe....
Said to have many health benefits, especially for older folk. Even if it doesn't, the flowers which bloom in the evening are so bright and cheerful that it does one good just to see them. My garden seems to have been taken over by wild flowers!

The old part of Tbilisi, known for its charming architecture and unique atmosphere, is one of the most fascinating areas of the city. One of the most striking features of this area is the traditional houses with wooden balconies. These wooden balconies, often adorned with intricate carvings, are a significant element of Tbilisi's urban aesthetic and culture. This old Tbilisi, also known as the Old Town or Dzveli Tbilisi, is one of the oldest parts of the city and has a rich history dating back to the 5th century. Over the centuries, Tbilisi has been influenced by Persian, Byzantine, Arab, and Russian cultures, which is evident in its diverse architectural styles. The houses with wooden balconies are typical of Tbilisi's traditional architectural style and reflect both Georgian and Persian influences. Perched on a steep hill overlooking Tbilisi’s Old Town and the Mtkvari River, Narikala Fortress is one of the city’s most iconic and historic landmarks. Dating back to the 4th century, this ancient fortress has seen the rise and fall of empires and has been a silent guardian of Tbilisi for centuries. Narikala’s origins date back to the founding of the city itself, with the first fortifications believed to have been built by the Persians in the 4th century. Over the centuries, the fortress was expanded and strengthened by various ruling powers, including the Umayyads in the 7th century, the Mongols in the 12th century, and later by Georgian kings. Within Narikala’s walls, you’ll find the restored St. Nicholas Church, originally built in the 12th century and rebuilt in the 1990s. The church’s interior is decorated with frescoes depicting scenes from Georgian history and the Bible. Visitors can reach the fortress by taking a scenic walk through the old town or by taking the modern cable car from Rike Park.

De oorsprong van Narikala gaat terug tot de oprichting van de stad zelf, met de eerste vestingwerken waarvan men denkt dat ze in de 4e eeuw door de Perzen zijn gebouwd. Door de eeuwen heen werd het fort uitgebreid en versterkt door verschillende heersende machten, waaronder de Omajjaden in de 7e eeuw, de Mongolen in de 12e eeuw en later door de Georgische koningen. Binnen de muren van Narikala vindt u de gerestaureerde St. Nicholas Church, oorspronkelijk gebouwd in de 12e eeuw en herbouwd in de jaren 90. Het interieur van de kerk is versierd met fresco's die scènes uit de Georgische geschiedenis en de Bijbel afbeelden.

This is a derelict sulphur spa pool located in a small mountain resort not far from where we live. It was very popular with those seeking the health benefits from bathing in the water. I remember a large crowd gathered in and around this pool back in 1993.

The small river that flows through the Tbilisi Botanical Garden, called the Tsavkisis-Tskali, also flows past Erekle's bath. In the background, you can see the beautiful Metekhi Virgin Mary Assumption Church.

The old part of Tbilisi, known for its charming architecture and unique atmosphere, is one of the most fascinating areas of the city. The minaret of the Juma Mosque is architecturally significant and reflects the influences of both Persian and Ottoman architectural styles. The mosque is built of red bricks and has beautiful arched entrances and windows. The interior is richly decorated with Islamic art and calligraphy. The baths in the center of the city are a major historical and cultural attraction. These baths, mostly known as the sulphur baths, are located in the Abanotubani district. The history of the sulphur baths dates back to the founding of Tbilisi itself in the 5th century. According to legend, King Vakhtang I Gorgasali came across the hot springs during a hunting trip, which led to the founding of the city. The baths were influenced by oriental bathing culture, similar to the hamams in Turkey and the bathhouses in Iran. The bathhouses have characteristic domed roofs, which are partly underground to keep the heat in. These roofs are often covered with bricks and small windows. Inside, the baths are tiled with mosaics and have several rooms, including private bathrooms and communal areas. The water in the baths contains a high level of sulphur, which is said to have medicinal properties. The water comes naturally warm from the ground. The sulphur baths are praised for their health benefits, such as relieving skin conditions, muscle pain and arthritis. Historically, the baths played an important role as social gathering places. People came here not only to bathe, but also to chat, relax and do business.

Historically, the baths played an important role as social gathering places. People came here not only to bathe but also to chat, relax, and conduct business. Today, the baths are a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world who want to enjoy a traditional sulfur bath experience. King Erekle's bath has been operating since the 18th century. Initially, it was the private bath of the famous King Erekle II, but it is now open to everyone. The small river that flows through the Tbilisi Botanical Garden, called the Tsavkisis-Tskali, also flows past Erekle's bath. The Tbilisi Juma Mosque has a prominent minaret that forms an important part of the skyline of the old city. A striking aspect of the Tbilisi Juma Mosque is that both Shia and Sunni Muslims use the mosque together. This is quite unusual, as these two major branches of Islam usually have their own prayer halls. The shared use of the mosque is a symbol of religious tolerance and harmony in Tbilisi.
Tbilisi is de hoofdstad en grootste stad van Georgië, gelegen in het oosten van het land aan de oevers van de rivier de Koera. De stad heeft een rijke geschiedenis die meer dan 1.500 jaar teruggaat en heeft door de eeuwen heen vele invloeden ondergaan van diverse culturen en beschavingen. Het oude gedeelte van Tbilisi, bekend om zijn charmante architectuur en unieke sfeer, is een van de meest fascinerende delen van de stad. De baden in het centrum van de stad zijn een belangrijke historische en culturele trekpleister. Deze baden, vooral bekend als de zwavelbaden, zijn gelegen in de wijk Abanotubani. De geschiedenis van de zwavelbaden gaat terug tot de oprichting van Tbilisi zelf in de 5e eeuw. Volgens de legende stuitte koning Vakhtang I Gorgasali op de warmwaterbronnen tijdens een jachtpartij, wat leidde tot de stichting van de stad. De baden werden beïnvloed door de oosterse badcultuur, vergelijkbaar met de hamams in Turkije en de badhuizen in Iran. De badhuizen hebben kenmerkende koepelvormige daken, die deels ondergronds zijn om de warmte binnen te houden. Het water komt natuurlijk warm uit de grond. De zwavelbaden worden geprezen om hun gezondheidsvoordelen, zoals het verlichten van huidaandoeningen, spierpijn en artritis. Historisch gezien speelden de badhuizen een belangrijke rol als sociale ontmoetingsplaatsen. Mensen kwamen hier niet alleen om te baden, maar ook om te praten, te ontspannen en zaken te doen. De Tbilisi Juma Moskee heeft een prominente minaret die een belangrijk onderdeel vormt van de skyline van de oude stad. De minaret van de Juma Moskee is architectonisch significant en weerspiegelt de invloeden van zowel Perzische als Ottomaanse bouwstijlen. De moskee is gebouwd met rode bakstenen en heeft mooie boogvormige ingangen en ramen. Het interieur is rijkelijk gedecoreerd met islamitische kunst en kalligrafie. Een opvallend aspect van de Tbilisi Juma Moskee is dat zowel Sjiitische als Soennitische moslims deze moskee gezamenlijk gebruiken. Dit is vrij ongebruikelijk, aangezien deze twee grote takken van de islam doorgaans hun eigen gebedsruimten hebben. De gezamenlijke gebruik van de moskee staat symbool voor religieuze tolerantie en harmonie in Tbilisi.
I read somewhere that walking barefoot grounds you with the earth. Apparently, it imparts all kinds of health benefits as any imbalance of electrons in your body is balanced out with those of the earth. That's kind of what I had in mind in this image when my wife was walking ahead. As for me, I don't have much tolerance for hot sand on a warm sunny day and you're more likely to catch me hopping around looking for a cooler patch. My earthing has to be done at the water's edge.
Benefits of Teak Leaves:

Not only delicious, but these fruits provide a treasure trove of low calorie health benefits!
ODC-Many Pieces!
I love chocolate and Turmeric Gummies. I eat them every day! Neither have any funky ingredients or refined sugars.
Dandelion is a herb.
Dandelion has a long list of powerful healing abilities as well as other health benefits. Contrary to popular belief, this is a beneficial plant to have. It's a great companion plant for gardening because it's long taproot brings up nutrients to the shallow-rooting plants in the garden adding minerals and nitrogen to the soil.
Dandelion is similar in appearance to both Cat's Ear and Hawkbit. The rosettes are distinguished from these two species by the relative lack of hairs on the leaves and by the more regular and backward directed lobes.
Glorious Stacked Rainbow Bell Peppers!
Bell Peppers can be found in a number of colors. Green, Yellow, Orange and Red Bell Peppers are the most common varieties. However, do not be surprised if you see a Black Bell Pepper as well.
Bell peppers are known for their crisp and juicy texture and their looks and color make them an ideal ingredient for salads and dressings. In certain parts of the world they are known as capsicum and eaten as vegetables. SR:natureandnutrition.

Most likely not, at least not in accordance to Wikipedia and many other sources. Actually, I was taking some pictures for Macro Monday theme vegetable. Sunday morning, windy fast-moving clouds. And suddenly the photo was to dark, cloud in front of the sun, change for at least 3 stops within less than 3 seconds.
Anyway, even if not intended, I liked it made it a little brighter and here we go
T'ai chi ch'uan or tàijíquán is an internal Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits. It is also typically practiced for a variety of other personal reasons: its hard and soft martial art technique, demonstration competitions, and longevity. As a result, a multitude of training forms exist, both traditional and modern, which correspond to those aims. Some training forms of t'ai chi ch'uan are especially known for being practiced with relatively slow movement.

Late entry today to the group, there are more pictures to this theme in my photo stream. Feel free to look around, to leave a like or a comment if you like.
Have never seen seeds literally grow out of hips, before, and wanted to share. One of the most beautiful parts of a rose. Rose hip. Packed with health benefits. Very fragrant, rose hips are used to make jams, drinks, syrups, and marmalades. There is even a rose hip brandy.

FORT IRWIN, Calif. – The Weed Army Community Hospital replacement hospital, scheduled for completion in the fall of 2016 was conceived to improve the medical care provided to Soldiers, military families, and retirees in the Fort Irwin community. No less important, the hospital will also support brigade-size units that rotate in and out regularly for training at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin's largest tenant. Since 2001 rotating units have been trained at the NTC for tours to Afghanistan and Iraq and are today being prepared for deployments to potential international trouble spots, peace-keeping missions and in support of allies around the globe.
Renewable energy systems, including a photovoltaic array and a solar thermal array of panels, take advantage of the hospital site's harsh desert sun; though the hospital will draw on the local power grid during the night, it will more than make up for its daytime electricity consumption by harnessing the power of sunlight. By incorporating the best practices of premier health facilities throughout the country, implementing targeted sustainability measures to reach significant milestones for healthcare design, and working collaboratively among military healthcare professionals in a tight, streamlined approach, the design of the Weed Army Community Hospital stands as a substantial accomplishment for military healthcare. Under the US Green Building Council's LEED-BD+C rating system, the design should achieve 87 credits, seven more than required for full Platinum status.

The issue of whether masturbation may lead to weight loss is one of several that are frequently raised when the subject of masturbation is brought up.
FORT IRWIN, Calif. -- The Coyote sculpture at the entrance to Fort Irwin is the unofficial icon of the fort, and legend maintains that those who leave will never return providing they remember to kiss it on their way out the gate. Surprisingly to outsiders and newcomers, many elect not to and acquire a fondness and affection for the post and the Mojave (such as the writer) during their stay.

FORT IRWIN, Calif. – Lt. Gen Nadja Y. West (second from left), the Army's Surgeon General and Commanding General of U.S. Army Medical Command, goes into the field with Weed Army Community Hospital (WACH) command and staff to observe a mass casualty exercise at the National Training Center (NTC) “Box” April 9.
"I get excellent reports and white papers but I need to see the state of Soldier readiness personally. I get the stats and numbers of course - which are important to me - but being in the training areas and seeing how MEDDAC Soldiers are working and training together is essential to me.” said West.
“Seeing Soldiers putting their knowledge, fitness and ingenuity into action, watching them build confidence through experience and being challenged by realistic training scenarios, that’s what I want to see first-hand.” West paused and added with satisfaction, “It’s also an opportunity for me to speak with and listen to what Soldiers are saying about training, which I enjoy.”
The goal of the training scenario – a petrol generator that is hit and explodes that causes 8 immediate heavy casualties.- is to test readiness as well as hone emergency medical skills among the participating 1st Armored Div. service members.
Dual-hatted as the MEDCOM commanding general, West oversees more than 48 medical treatment facilities providing care to 3.8 million active-duty members of all services, retirees and their family members. She is also responsible for development, policy direction, organization and overall management of an integrated Army-wide health service system and is the medical materiel developer for the Army.
